Truly not a bad interpretation, despite being a cliche. :lol:

:smile: Thanks. what message did you get?:chin: Good advice, thanks, although I wouldn't consider precipice to be a "big" word. I wrote this, like mos...

Man, I don't know what your experience is like in the creative arts, but you should be shaking my hand, not complaining. What I mean is, you should ex...

Ah Wendy's, my home state's pride and joy. Also a classic that I shamelessly love.

Haha those are good. Those diced onions make it somehow. :brow: I've been known to order many things at TB, but standard is at least 1 or 2 basic soft...

I unashamedly and unironically love the TB.

Yes; great track though, albeit a bit dated.

:yawn:

Interesting. I like the idea of starting with a seed line; it at least feels freer than coming up with some grand narrative and then sitting down in f...

Dude everyone finds you boring and odious. Maybe reflect a bit.

Congrats on your first entry! And we have a trademark Amity analysis of people's analysis of her own story. :razz: Love it.

This came through for me on the first read. :up:

There's a ton of great feedback here; thanks everyone, I'm super grateful. I'm a bit busy and need to get into the right headspace to discuss this, so...

Congrats @"hypericin"! Well deserved.

Move to NYC and we'll talk about it.

Agreed. I think.

Please spare us. We've all heard about the friend that just got back from Italy.

Also, the thing preventing me from "upvoting" all of the entries is that some are better than others.

So we're now "up" voting and "down" voting? :razz: Very different answers. How I would rate my work would depend more on how it squares against my oth...

"Like a dumb wall" signifies that I don't remember what in the hell the bricks we were laying were for. They were for something in the vague vicinity ...

Ok, shoot.

:chin: Not sure how I feel about this. If I didn't believe in my work I wouldn't submit it. That does't mean I get to cast a vote for my own work agai...

I can't read your sarcasm dammit! :lol:

In what job interview are you given a vote on the best candidate?

Yeah I always thought getting laid meant the chick got pregos, so I never understood why dudes were smacking each others backs about getting laid. But...

@"T Clark" I see it in hindsight of course, especially the title.

:up: :chin:

I once walked 5,280 feet in the shoes of 3 different guys.

Kinda bummed I knew all authors going in as I wonder if I’d have pegged @"hypericin" for The Tourist as well. He’s been slippery in the past.

Yours was one of my favorites. Looking forward to hearing more from you about it.

:cheer: I’ve been preaching this here for years.

Correctamundo.

@"180 Proof" - Saying Nothing

Yes.

Guess! That’s the point!

There are still plenty of authors who haven’t weighed in because they’re not online at the moment. Patience…

Woah you’re taking quite the deductive approach. I can’t argue.

Nope!

There’s generally an informal author guessing game before you respond to comments on you entry.

:cheer: Congrats to the winners, if we’re allowed to use that word. :razz:

This little boy - @"god must be atheist" The Body of Music - @"Janus" Saying Nothing - @"T Clark" Sunrise - @"Benkei" Nailing a Philosopher - @"Amity"...

:lol: Authors do what you will I suppose.

Never mind :rofl:

Also to clarify for all, we generally don’t positively identify ourselves until we reveal all authors at once.

One step ahead of ya mate :razz:

Or @"Baden" is probably Sunday Creeps… Gonna be bad at the poetry guessing, that’s for sure. Most of the poems didn’t sound like what I was expecting ...

My dog - @"javi2541997" Poem #19 - @"180 Proof" This little boy - @"Baden"

I’ve been a folky since the late 2000’s, not as long as you certainly, but I also don’t like Phil Ochs. His music hasn’t aged well.

Actually, I’m remindt of one of the greatest bands of the early aughts: https://youtu.be/HTvu1Yr3Ohk

You didn’t like my use of slept because of flipt and script, but flipped and slept are past tense verbs. So imagined scrip as a verb. Le sigh.
